Can
you help me understand Separation, and the solution to it as the only problem
humans have?... –PM
God, or Reality, is formless, limitless Being. As a self in a body in a world you seem to experience a
different reality. This experience of lack, limitation, and loss is obviously
the opposite of God. So you seem to be “separate from God”. Your belief in this
other reality is your only problem because if you did not believe in it you
would not experience lack, limitation, and loss in its many forms.
The “Atonement” is the solution to
this problem. As ACIM uses the word, “Atonement” means correction of your
perception that separation from God is real. This is accomplished through you
becoming aware of God within you. When you are aware of God within you, you
know that you have Everything. You no longer believe in the reality of lack,
limitation, and loss that the personal self seems to experience.

I have been a student of ACIM for about 5 years, being
brought to it by someone who has been studying it for 30 years and
who considers himself to be a great expert in it. The trouble is he
is a difficult personality who sometimes becomes very judgmental of people and
situations. I think someone who is so into the Course should not be like this and I point this
out, in what I consider to be a calm and loving way. He,
however, hates any criticism and gets very angry with me and accuses me of
judging him, whereupon I point out (rather less calmly!) that he is judging me
... and so it goes on with us both getting very angry and shouting at one
another. What's going on here? –Anonymous
What is going on is two egos
(personal thought systems) battling for who is going to be “right” in the
mistaken belief that being right will undo guilt. Your friend’s judgments on
others are his ideas of what is right. You judge him as wrong and you think
that however you think he “sho…

Over many years now I
have experienced the light through the Course, with intervals of seeming to fall back into darkness… To remember the
warmth and Great Love from God that is in me when I write about it seems to
vague out when my thoughts change back to human thoughts…It is also like living
through the mirror into Alice in Wonderland’s chessboard. In these multiple
sets of realities I seem to be experiencing I find it very difficult if not
impossible to live as a real self let alone Self. The moment I write this Help
is there, and comfort pours into me, but I seem to be so impatient for the
Great Love I have known again and again and want to be in constantly. But I
keep on living in a body and the cycle returns again and again…Where is my rudder
in this ocean of thoughts… -T
You are
describing the typical vacillations of a serious student of A Course in Miracles or any other teaching
that leads to an awareness of God (Truth). You are experiencing both parts of
your mind…

…Liz, I would like to know what a current day is like in
the mind of an Advanced Teacher of God. Specially, I'd like to know
spiritually what a whole day is like for you from waking to bedtime…some real
life situations as to what you do in your mind relative to practicing ACIM with
everyday practical situations. What is your waking hour like in terms of
meditation or prayer? How do you deal with life situations that arise during
the day like finding out your water is off due to a pipe in the street
bursting, like what words do you say to the Holy Spirit relative to
frustration? You see someone on TV who is in your eyes stunningly beautiful. Do
you laugh with the Holy Spirit knowing it's just an erroneous belief in the
ego? What words to think in your mind and can you allow yourself to continue to
watch without any serious investment as to that attractive person being
"salvation"? I think I'm struggling to understand the daily practical
application as to exactly h…
